ON ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:   

We adhere to the University Academic Integrity Policy   and practice   ZERO TOLERANCE on any form of CHEATING or PLAGIARISM. The University views such behavior as academic dishonesty and a breach of trust.

In practical terms, CHEATING means turning in someone else's work as your own, in whole or in part, even with the permission of its original author, regardless of its significance or correctness. And similarly for allowing someone else to submit any part of your own work as his or hers, regardless of its significance or correctness.

Turning in work without properly citing the sources of the content included in your work is PLAGIARISM. All kinds of sources are included in this definition, even those downloaded from the web, in which case an operable link must be cited and a hard copy of that page be attached to the submitted work. Even then, submitting an answer to a HW question, verbatim from any source and without any contribution on your part, draws zero credit.
